Lubecut

Lubecut is one of the derivatives of crude oil and is one of the cuts of the distillation tower of oil refineries. Lubecut has two types, heavy and light, each used in the oil industry.

According to experts, only a good lubricant (oil, grease, etc.) can guarantee the optimal operation of machine equipment. About 55% of premature equipment failures are due to inappropriate lubricants in the industry. Lubricants are substances used to reduce friction and prevent the wear of moving metal parts in contact with each other.

This article will discuss lube cuts, the main component, and raw materials for motor oil production.

What is a lube cut?

lubecut is the main component and raw material for producing motor oil, which makes up about 85-95% of it. Usually, by refining crude oil, only a few percent of hydrocarbon materials with atomic numbers between 20 and 50 are obtained, which are suitable for use as lubricants. It is one of the oil cuts (products) called oil cut or lube cut. This cut is actually the oil refinery feed.

Lubecut is converted into oil from crude oil refineries then in the oil refineries, the refining operation is performed on the lubecut. Finally, a substance called base oil, the main ingredient of motor, industrial, and grease oils, is prepared from it.

As mentioned, the base oil is produced from lubecut. Basically, lubricants consist of two components: base oil and additives. After adding additives to the base oil, the final lubricant is obtained.


The process of obtaining lubecut

Production of base oil from lubecut by performing the refining process, in addition to separating non-hydrocarbon compounds, hydrocarbon compounds are also divided according to their boiling point, which is derived from the number of carbon atoms in their molecules. Usually, by refining crude oil, only a few percent of hydrocarbon materials with atomic numbers between 20 and 50 are formed, which are suitable for use as lubricants. It should be noted that the type and degree of viscosity of the base oil obtained depend on the lubecut input to the oil refinery. Therefore, to produce different base oils, it is necessary to use different lubecut.

Caustic Soda - Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH)

Image
Caustic Soda - Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is a highly caustic and corrosive compound that is commonly known as caustic soda or lye . The name “ caustic soda ” comes from its ability to corrode or burn organic materials upon contact due to its strong alkaline properties. NaOH is a type of sodium hydrate, meaning that it contains water molecules within its crystal structure. What is caustic soda? In its pure form, caustic soda appears as a waxy, white solid that readily absorbs moisture from the air and dissolves in water to form an aqueous solution. Overall, sodium hydroxide has a wide range of industrial applications, including in the production of paper, textiles, soaps, and detergents. It is also used in the manufacturing of various chemicals, such as plastics and pharmaceuticals. However, due to its highly corrosive nature, sodium hydroxide must be handled with care and caution to prevent injury or damage. What are the applications of sodium hydroxide? Sod...
